Museums,
library and archives facilities in Canada have been having a hard time lately.

First was the flood in Alberta which completely wiped out the Museum of the Highwood
in High River. Now I hear that the people of High River are getting first class
help from the conservation people from Calgary. They have come down to help the
staff at the High River museum decide what
to keep and what to throw away, and to get the museum back on its feet again.

Then
we had the news of the terrible disaster atLac Megantic, in the Eastern Townships
in Quebec, with the runaway train accident that occurred early Saturday morning
last week. In addition to the astounding loss of life, there has been the fact
that the town’s library and archives has been lost in the fire which engulfed
the town.

And then just yesterday, I heard that theThistalalh Memorial Library at Bella
Bella, a British Columbia remote First Nations village on the province’s
northwest coast, has been destroyed by fire. The library was housed in a
building which also was home to the village’s general store, Alexa's
restaurant, and the Koeye Cafe.
